The AR Group provides employment legal counsel to employers, organizations, and federal agencies navigating the full range of workplace legal challenges. Led by Victoria T. Aguilar, Esq. — an AV-Preeminent rated employment attorney licensed in Colorado, Minnesota, and New Mexico — we bring more than 30 years of employment law experience to every matter.
Our legal work is grounded in the same expertise that defines our investigative and consulting practice: deep knowledge of Title VII, the ADA, the FMLA, the FLSA, and the full spectrum of federal and state employment law, combined with practical HR experience that most law firms simply do not have.
Practice Areas
Employment Discrimination Defense
We advise and represent employers facing allegations of discrimination based on race, sex, national origin, religion, age, disability, and other protected characteristics — including EEOC charges, agency complaints, and civil litigation. Our approach combines rigorous legal defense with strategic HR guidance to address both the immediate matter and the underlying workplace conditions.
EEO Compliance Counsel
Compliance with EEO law is not a one-time exercise. It requires ongoing attention to policy, practice, training, and documentation. We advise employers on building and maintaining EEO-compliant workplaces — and on responding effectively when the EEOC or another agency comes calling.
Harassment & Hostile Work Environment
We advise employers on preventing, responding to, and defending against harassment and hostile work environment claims — including the policy frameworks, training programs, and investigation procedures that form the first line of legal defense.
Reasonable Accommodation & ADA Compliance
ADA compliance and the interactive accommodation process are among the most mishandled areas of employment law. We advise employers on their obligations, assist with the interactive process, and defend against failure-to-accommodate claims.
Wage & Hour Compliance
From FLSA overtime exemption classification to Colorado-specific wage and hour requirements, we advise employers on compliance and defend against wage and hour claims. We stay current on the regulatory changes — including the DOL’s ongoing overtime rule revisions — so our clients are not caught off guard.
Wrongful Termination & Employment Agreements
We advise on termination decisions, severance agreements, and employment contracts — helping employers document their decisions, reduce legal exposure, and structure agreements that protect their interests.
